2-Amino-2-deoxy-3-O-(β-D-glucopyranuronosyl)-D-galactopyranose monohydrate

2-Amino-2-deoxy-3-O-(β-D-glucopyranuronosyl)-D-galactopyranose monohydrate is a defined amino sugar derivative for biochemical and glycoscience research. Identified by CAS number 499-14-9 and the empirical formula C₁₂H₂₁NO₁₁·H₂O, the monohydrate has a molar mass of 373,31 g/mol. The structure links a β-D-glucopyranuronosyl unit to a 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-galactopyranose core, giving a building block relevant to carbohydrate chemistry, oligosaccharide studies and investigations of glycosaminoglycan-related motifs. Laboratories use such amino sugar monohydrates in enzyme assays, structural comparison experiments and the preparation of more complex glycoconjugates. The solid monohydrate presentation is suited to controlled handling in polar media typical of carbohydrate research. This biochemical reagent fits glycobiology, natural-product and life-science environments that require well-characterised sugar derivatives with transparent identity data including CAS, formula and molar mass.
